Hextall knew Felix was a non-fighter and thought he could score an easy knockout. Glad karma took care of that fight and Felix tuned him up. Seriously, Hextall is a douchebag.bkbladeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14993067848904779017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-39404092914189403792009-09-25T18:54:38.808-04:002009-09-25T18:54:38.808-04:00Todd Gill has been my 2nd favourite Leaf of all time since I was 10 years old. <br />I think he and Wendel are actually clones of each other. What happened was they wanted a highly mobile d man who would never back down and always played to win (even when they were trailing by 5 with 2 to go). <br />They made Gill first. Sort of like creating a player in NHL10,they gave him waaaaay to much truculence-99 aggression,99 checking and not enough size (185lbs). The lab tech added waaay too much P&amp;V and not enough HGH.<br />So they went back to the drawing board,added 10 lbs and a 99 wrist shot rating and voila! Wendel Clark.<br />Please do something to educate the world about the awesomness of Todd Gill,easily the 2nd greastest Dman in Leaf history (Borje is #1).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-20829179971761515422009-09-25T09:31:59.020-04:002009-09-25T09:31:59.020-04:00I like how Wendel didn&#39;t really start hitting McSorley until after the cameras switched (usually a toe tag is being applied to his opponent by this point).<br />It&#39;s as though he wanted the world to see what happens.devourer.of.soulshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05182465273046087417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-24461240364817496052009-09-24T15:35:04.841-04:002009-09-24T15:35:04.841-04:00Surprise!

How can someone be so mild mannered and yet so badass at the same time? <br /><br />2)Hextall points at the scoreboard, but nobody remembers the score of that game. The only score we remember is Potvin 1, Hextall 0.<br /><br />3)Harry Neale is awesome, seriously. Maybe it&#39;s his absence that makes Joe Bowen unbearable, but how they let him get away I simply cannot figure out.Pal Hal Pallhttp://palhalpall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-59486195242170285012009-09-22T19:19:44.085-04:002009-09-22T19:19:44.085-04:00I know that it might not fit the criteria, but the Chara/McCabe fight always gets a laugh out of me.Biteyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14867298324920012844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-79237635485128472792009-09-22T19:00:23.572-04:002009-09-22T19:00:23.572-04:00Ah Domi, a true renaissance man..
